PolyParadise has always prided itself on its Cleanup & Recycle efforts.

As a Theme Camp we were left wondering as the 2012 MOOP MAP was revealed - our entire block Asylum - Begonia 5:00 - 4:30 was shown in a Green/Yellow Cross hatch pattern. There does appear to be a few other areas on the MOOP Map with the same designation. My presumption without a legend on the map that this is somewhere between GREEN & YELLOW - which of course means that we need to be more diligent in our final MOOP Sweeps - cause ALL GREEN in 2013 will be our goal.

In 2011 when I had a chance to talk with the Playa Restoration crew about MOOP cleanup - they said that it is the smallest of things that need to be picked up - the biggest culprit is wood chips & carpet fibers. Remember it is MOOP if it is not Playa -that is the definition of Leave No Trace. Overall we did an amazing job - thanks to all that assisted in Never Letting It Hit the Ground!!! Thank you to everybody that stayed for teardown and beyond...You guys ROCK for making those last sweeps through our space and making sure we would be MOOP FREE!

The Gray Water & Trash Areas are both clearly marked and as each new camp member starts to unpack they are reminded of their location and their use. 

PolyParadise has an appointed Trash CZAR who will coordinate the efforts of all Camp Members in following the LEAVE NO TRACE rule of BM, and coordinate with the TRASH CZAR prior to leaving the event and our campsite looking for and picking up MOOP (Matter Out of Place).

Each camp member is expected to take some Community Trash home with them and to dispose of it in the proper manner in an appropriate facility or container when you return to your respective home locations.

You are expected to donate at least 2 hours of your time before you leave the Playa to cleanup of the PolyParadise site as well as the general state of BRC.

PolyParadise was awarded the Theme Camp Of Day Award - '01 & '02 presented by the Earth Guardians. This was in recognition of both our Water Reclamation Project and Trash Recycle & Separation.
